Acute Religious Experiences

Madness, Psychosis and Religious Studies

Richard Saville-Smith, independent scholar, UK

How do we explain the coincidence of religion and madness in which prophets, founders of religions and great saints often show symptoms of an excitability that is extreme and even pathological? This book attempts to address this phenomenological problem Informed by contemporary psychiatric theory, which is passed through the lens of mad studies, this book argues that acute religious experiences provides a novel category to the study of the non-rational

Secular Assemblages

Affect, Orientalism and Power in the French Enlightenment

Marek Sullivan, Oxford University, UK Challenges the link between secularization and rationalization, arguing for a more sensual genealogy of secularity Sullivan examines how theorists of the secular rely on excessively rationalistic conceptions of Enlightenment thought, and addresses critiques that focus on the importance of religious constructions of Oriental religions for the genealogy of secularity Sullivan also identifies a distinctively secular—yet impassioned—form of Orientalism that emerged in the 18th century that resorted to racist, Orientalist and emotional tropes By exposing the Enlightenment as a nationalistic and affective movement, the book undermines modern nationalist appeals to the Enlightenment as a mark of European distinction

Charismatic Healers in Contemporary Africa

Deliverance in Muslim and Christian Worlds

Edited by Sandra Fancello, National Center for Scientific Research, France & Alessandro Gusman, University of Turin, Italy

Based on ethnographic studies conducted in several African countries, this volume analyses the phenomenon of deliverance –which is promoted both in charismatic churches and in Islam as a weapon against witchcraft – in order to clarify the political dimensions of Spiritual Warfare in contemporary African societies This book reflects on the responsibilities of Pentecostal deliverance politics to shed light on complex relational dimensions in which individual deliverance is part and parcel of a wider social spiritual struggle

Neo-Spiritual Aesthetics

Embodied Transformation in the Israeli Movement Practice Gaga

Lina Aschenbrenner, independent scholar, Germany

Weaving together different methods of ritual, movement, discourse, and narrative analysis, while acknowledging insights from neuroscience and cognitive science, this book applies a multi-methodical approach to studying the triad of body, practice, and effect It emphasizes and depicts the relationship between language and embodied experience and draws upon a wide array of data gathered in the context of Gaga at the Suzanne Dellal Center in Tel Aviv, as well as a vivid description of Gaga practice, Gaga’s aesthetics and its embodied effect

The Critical Study of NonReligion

Discourse, Identification and Locality

Christopher R. Cotter, Open University, UK

This book acts as a bridge between two increasingly entrenched positions in contemporary Religious Studies—one that is interested in understanding ‘religion in the real world’, and the other in understanding the discursive processes by which that statement makes sense, or ‘critical religion ’ It provides a rich engagement with a wide variety of theoretical material, rooted in empirical data, which will be of interest to those interested in critical, sociological and anthropological study of the contemporary non-/religious landscape

Decolonizing Contemporary Gospel Music

A Black British Revolutionary Praxis

Robert Beckford, Canterbury Christ Church University, UK

Robert Beckford shows how the Black British gospel music tradition has been in crisis since it became distanced from the 'roots' of the gospel in the US that influenced

The book develops a revolutionary gospel music genre or ‘social gospel’, in two stages. The first stage is a reshaping and retooling of the theological and theo-musicological structures of contemporary gospel music, based on a socio-political reading of Black British music production The second stage is a practical guide, a theomusicological reflection on the production of the author’s album:

Religion and Inequality in Africa

Edited by Ezra Chitando, University of Zimbabwe, Zimbabwe, Loreen Maseno, Maseno University, Kenya & Joram Tarusarira, University of Groningen, the Netherlands

A reflection on the interface between religion and inequality, demonstrating how this impacts development in different African contexts Some contributors undertake detailed analyses of how religion creates (and justifies) different forms of inequalities that hold back individuals, groups, communities and even the entire continent from flourishing, while others show how religion can also mitigate inequality in Africa Overall, the book argues that Africa's development agenda needs to take these dynamics into account

Religion in Fortress Europe

Perspectives on Belief, Citizenship, and Identity in a Time of Polarized Politics

Edited by Morteza Hashemi, Nottingham University, UK & Christopher R. Cotter, Open University, UK

What is the role of religion or its rejection in maintaining or challenging discourses on national identity? What role do religion-related groups play in welcoming or opposing immigration? Reactionary politics, Brexit, populism, anti-migration and anti-multiculturalist rhetoric combine to produce an image of Fortress Europe, as borders harden in opposition to the ‘others’ perceived in ‘our’ midst, with Christianity frequently being constructed as inextricably linked to European identities, and Islam as the radical and problematic outsider This book presents a timely and critical exploration of the entanglement of discourses on (anti) multiculturalism, (anti)migration, and national identity with discourses of religion and non-religion

Narratives of Disenchantment and Secularization

Critiquing Max Weber’s Idea of Modernity

Edited by Robert A. Yelle, Ludwig Maximilian University, Germany & Lorenz Trein, Ludwig Maximilian University, Germany

The contributors to this collection offer critical attempts both to reread Max Weber’s historical idea of disenchantment and to develop further his understanding of what the contested relationship between modernity and religion represents The approach is distinctive because it focuses on disenchantment as key to understanding those aspects of modern society and culture that Weber diagnosed This is in opposition to approaches that focus on secularization, narrowly construed as the rise of secularism or the divide between religion and politics, and that then conflate this with modernization as a whole.

Lived Wisdom in Jewish Antiquity

Studies in Exercise and Exemplarity

Elisa Uusimäki, Aarhus University, Denmark

Delves into the lived, embodied and formative dimensions of wisdom as they are delineated in Jewish sources from the Persian, Hellenistic and early Roman eras Considering a diverse body of texts beyond later canonical boundaries, Elisa Uusimäki demonstrates that wisdom features not as an abstract quality, but as something to be performed and exercised at both the individual and community level Jewish wisdom is also contextualized in relation to its wider ancient Mediterranean milieu, making the book valuable for biblical scholars, classicists, theologians and scholars of religion and the ancient Near East
